Allow me to connect 2 things to bluetooth at the same time!!!

You already can.

I always have at least 2 connected. sometimes 4

Do you mean connecting the device to Bluetooth audio outputs? As far as I know, you can connect multiple bluetooth devices since ever.

However, that is not necessary the case if you are referring to some earbuds model with no multi-point access.

Yes, you can. You even have 2 separate volume controls, too. And that was a long, long time ago about 5 years, maybe.

Would you please show or tell me how to get the Media Control button back in Quick Panel to make this happen?

[-CROW-]

Yes, give me a minute and post it here as a new comment.

I'm with the OP on this one, assuming it is referring to dual media. I cannot find the Media option on the Quick Panel for sharing a BT audio stream to 2 connected BT output devices. I do this regularly on my old S9 but do not see the option on my S26. I don't know whether this is a change from OneUI 9 or something before.

I think I just found the missing piece of this puzzle thanks to a YouTube video. The option to display the Device Control and Media Output buttons as well as the buttons themselves  only appear when the top panel is set to Together Mode, rather than separate Notifications and Quick Settings. This seems like an oversight -- at least I don't understand why separate panels would eliminate the need for the Media button.

If you slide down and see the Media output, skip step one.

Step one:
Slide down from the top.
Slide down again.
Tap the pencil, just like in the picture.
Panel settings.
Make sure its on together
Scroll down.
Tap on "Device control and Media output buttons."
Select "Show when quick panel collapsed."
Then go back, and you will see "Media output."

Step 2:
Slide down.
Tap on "Media output."
You will see the devices you connect to via Bluetooth, just like in the pictures.
Select the devices you want.
